#Helen Witek

[cassidystclair]

I saw as ask meme about what your character’s go to drink is so here’s a bunch of drinks for characters w/o context <3

Helen gets a medium americano, 4 shots, iced in the summer, hot in winter.

Cassie gets a large iced white mocha, no whip, all year round.

Aaron gets a medium hot earl grey tea (and puts so much sugar in it) and gets it even in summer to seem “cool” and “mysterious”

Amanda gets a medium hot vanilla latte in winter, and an iced chai in summer

June gets a pink lemonade, no matter where she goes or time of year.

Susie only drinks shitty gas station cappuccinos and Arizona iced teas.

Bonus:

Helena brought over a tea recipe from the old country that the old folks make in winter. It’s recipe is a closely guarded town secret but it’s extremely beloved by all and a warmly held tradition to drink when the weather gets cold
